↵1-150 P < 0.01; ^** P < 0.001 reduced performance vcontrols (see methods for calculations).
↵1-151 From Signoret’s “Batterie d’efficience cognitive”.32
↵1-152 From Signoret’s “Batterie d’efficience mnésique”.33
↵1-153 Normative data from control sample of seven subjects (see methods for details).
The maximal possible score for all tests was 12, except for the primacy and recency effects, and for the forward verbal span.
